Parents today can’t help but notice (and worry) that their kids’ childhoods are different from their own. Our kids would rather play video games than play outside; they expect instant gratification; they forget their manners. Of course, parents of all generations want to raise happy, well-adjusted kids. Psychologists at Harvard University have found that there are five elements to raising a “good kid,” and – good news! – they’re pretty simple:
- Spend quality time with your children.
- Be a strong moral role model and mentor for them.
- Set high ethical expectations and teach your kids to be kind.
- Encourage them to practice gratitude.
- Teach your kids to see the big picture.
The secret to raising "a well-adjusted child in these changing times is not as complicated as you may think.” (Simon Segal)
